Building on the Positives
I love Wichita, a city that is unpredictably amazing. Accolades for our city include:
- Best City in the Nation for First-Time Homebuyers on SmartAsset’s list based on affordability, accessibility and stability of the housing market
- No. 3 on Brookings Institute’s list of Advanced Industry Hotspots
- Top 10 Best City for College Grads on SmartAsset’s list based on jobs, affordability and fun
- Top 100 Best Places to Live on U.S. News list based on desirability, value, job market, quality of life and net migration
- Top 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World by MovieMaker: Tallgrass Film Festival
- Over 20 food trucks in the Wichita Food Truck Coalition
- Burgeoning craft brewery industry, five breweries within walking distance of Old Town
Wichita anchors a metropolitan area of more than half a million people, yet it maintains a welcoming atmosphere, short commutes, quality education and so many other points of pride.
